Apologies if this is the wrong sub-forum to use for this - do move it if necessary !
I am the sole executor to my deceased wife's estate and the sole beneficiary under her will. The only assets in her sole name are with NS&I and they appear to be willing to release funds with provision of the death certificate and a certified copy of the will (no mention of probate). I believe the spouse exemption will apply regarding our house (jointly owned) and no IHT should therefore be due in that regard. However, my wife's estate will shortly be receiving about £270,000 from my deceased brother's estate. We divested the majority of our assets to our daughters over the past 7 years, but some, unfortunately, may well attract a degree of IHT. My question is, under these circumstances, will there be a need to apply for probate, or should I be able to proceed without it ? Thank you for your assistance !
